Boeing 747 312, TF-AME of Travelcitydirect rolling down 23R, Manchester, 27 August 2007.

Note the fuel venting from the right wing. I am reliably informed this is a consequence of refuelling a tank in a relatively cool wing, which has warmed under the Manchester sunshine, causing what was a full fuel load to expand and overspill.

This aircraft, c/n 4126, was intended for the Greek Air Force, but has apparently been diverted to the JCA (Joint Cargo Aircraft) test bed programme across the pond.
